Lets wait
Lets wait and see how the Athlon 64 performs after a few mother board
manufacturers produce boards and tweak them. I am tired of hearing people saying they are going to Intel because they are so much better. These same people better hope AMD doesn't go away or we will all be paying twice as much for processors. |

i personally cant see AMD going away. they`ve always been there, just not as
a very big player uptill the athlon era. somewhat like cyrix, they've never had limelight in the pc era (atleast since the 486SX/DX era) they may not win many benchmark results, but maybe thats because most benchmarks rely on pure mhz's. mhz for mhz however, the AMD abliterate intel. but as you say, BF, lets see what comes out in the future before we make decisions on what to buy. tim "BF" wrote in message t...

Hi Guys,
2nd attempt:-) Ta muchly to M$'s oe fondness for sending before completion if you sneeze or summat. Anyway it seems AMD is revamping their cpu setup next year anyway with a new pinout for AMD64, so maybe a bit of a wait will save a good few bucks on a mobo that will only hack current pinouts etc.. And there aint any cheap ones from what I've heard:-/ Not to mention that the K8 series are pretty damm expensive in comparison to the K7's even at low-mid range speeds. Me, I think I'll get a barton core 2500 and wait it out until 2/qtr 2k4 or maybe 3/qtr 2k4... Then if all the crap has come and gone, mobo bios's are well outta beta and board quirks/bugs/faults have been ironed out and the K8 price range is decently priced and supports non registered DDR then it will be time to make another investment in AMD:-) Cheers, RD "O |V| 3 G A" wrote in message ... i personally cant see AMD going away. they`ve always been there, just not as a very big player uptill the athlon era. somewhat like cyrix, they've never had limelight in the pc era (atleast since the 486SX/DX era) they may not win many benchmark results, but maybe thats because most benchmarks rely on pure mhz's. mhz for mhz however, the AMD abliterate intel. but as you say, BF, lets see what comes out in the future before we make decisions on what to buy. tim "BF" wrote in message t...

Yep, you are right, it is bad enough having MS as a monopoly, it be worse if we had Intel as well. Intel and Ms, will take over the world. I like AMD, I had AMD since my 233 days, had a Cyrix before that. I will never buy an Intel. |
